    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    .dat file received as email attachment - how is it best to open with Windows 10

    need some help opening a .dat file.....

    i think he meant her as in her's , and Pampered Chef is a salesman program

    does Pampered Chef have it's own software, what do the dat files normally open in?

    .dat files are rarely directly opened, they are more often opened by the software that uses it.
